1. Overpriced for what it is (if it was functional)
2. Not functional - the amount of air that circulates behind the bumper, on top of the the reinforcement bar is very limited.

In conclusion: bad design and overpriced. I wouldn't spend my hard earned on this.
So your saying every company should just sell their products for at cost and not profit? How do you not know its not functional did you personally test this your self? Whether you like it or not when the car is moving air will get up there.

Instead of giving us some bro science how about you look into the product a bit more instead of making up some conclusions that you came up with ur self. Their is already 2-3 other intakes that are similar for cheaper. I guess the design is so bad that other companies have decided to make one also. If it was bad then no one would of made a similar one. All 3 of them use similar designs and have been dyno'd by those companies if you do a search on google. Lots of other cars have a similar design for example the S2000 has an intake like this and it is rated to be the best intake for the S2000.
